our best video (and recipe!) yet. print it here lifeisnoyoke.com/cashew-queso/
I like u guys glad I found u watched ur almond butter and thats how i found u
@LINY can you use almonds instead of cashews?
Great recipe! Made it out of pure curiosity , I'm not even vegan...tastes really awesome.
Great recipe! We add a teaspoon of Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning and, post-blend, we pulse a can of Rotel tomatoes into the hot mix. Fabulous. We make it so often, I now make 'queso kits' in bulk, adding all of the nuts, yeast, and spices into vacuum packs or pint-sized mason jars. When we want to make it, we just have to put the 1-cup almond milk and bell pepper into the Vitamix, and add the contents of a 'queso kit'. Couldn't be easier!
It's the homemade version of the product everyone wants us to make. Love it!
Sounds awesome.
All I can say is WOW! JUST WOW! This is fantastic and yummy. I am new to plant based eating and have been trying various recipes for making “cheese” sauce, and none are like this. That bell pepper is the absolute best ingredient. Thanks for the recipe demo.
I made a variant with just cashews (didn't have almonds) and canned jalapenos instead of bell peppers. Still awesome
I have been making this regularly for almost a year. Best cheese sauce hands down. Lately I've been substituting the red bell pepper with a couple chipotle peppers in Adobo. OMG! So good. Also, I add the Chipotle Cheese Sauce to my black bean chili. Instant amazingness. Makes the chili creamy with that smoky chipotle taste. A little goes a long way.
Someone recommended this recipe a few months ago and now we make it at least once a week! Make it with some rice and beans and Butler Foods Taco Crumble. Perfect tacos. I made Mac and cheese with it last week. It keeps well in the fridge too. We also use yellow and orange peppers too, works just as well.
Just not green peppers, unless of course you want brown queso 😂
@@LINY If it tastes the same I wouldn't care! 😂
Okay I was going to ask if anyone made a mac and cheese with it. I'm going to try it out.
We LOVE this recipe! We also add some pickled jalapeños and some of the liquid from the jar, because we like it spicy. Amazing!
OMG. Literally just made this and it is 🤯. My blender is old school so it’s not as smooth as I’d like it to be but other than that absolutely no complaints!!! Thanks!🤗
I added smoked paprika, smoked salt, a teaspoon of tamari soy sauce, cumin & umami spice blend (mushrooms) for more depth.
Wow! Love that
I made this today and I can confirm it is SOOOOO GOOD! THANK YOU!!!
Hello. I just made this. I actually cut the recipe in half except the cashews. It's only me and I didn't want to make too much. I used fresh homemade almond milk. IT TASTES GRRREAT! The next time I will use a stronger blender for a smoother consistency. I can see pieces of almond pulp in mine. My cashews were also soaked overnight. Because I cut the recipe in half, I used a half of bell pepper, but I think that is why mine came out more of redish more cheese color. It looks almost like a cheese sauce mixed with salsa. 🤷🏾♀️ It's good though. 🤗
After I let it heat on the stove, the color was giving cheese. The taste was 💣 🔥 🤗 I baked a sweet potato, topped with steamed brocoli and put the "cheese" on top! It was DELICIOUS! Now I'm eating it with tortilla chips. Last night for dinner, I had it on pasta!
I am late to the party but you are so RIGHT this cashew queso is a life changer. Thank you guys for all you do🥰
We just now finished making the the cheese with a red pepper and had to comment. It is so darn good. Another great recipe.
You changed my whole life with this. Way better than real queso.
Finally tried it. I was skeptical but this is straight up ALCHEMY. So silky and delicious, I can't even believe it. Thank you, LNY!
*googles alchemy* wow thanks! ("transform base metals such as lead or copper into silver or gold")
@@LINY LOL
Omg! Testes amazing! Thanks for the recipe.
My boyfriend and I tried this multiple times and shared it with others! WE LOVE IT! We even made it spicy and it always came out delicious! love this recipe easy and delicious. I also added this recipe into the Vitamix app and it has been easy with the scale.
We made this recipe with a green bell pepper. Oh my was it good. Dipped our chips in, slathered it on tortillas for vege burritos and they were the best we’ve had. Tonight is red pepper time then spoon on potatoes. It is surprising how good this is even cold. It adds a lot of flavor. Thanks for the recipes.
thanks so much! everyone loves a good queso
Just made this….and it is so good!!!!
I have been making your recipe for a long time. It is one of my weekly staples. Hope your family is well.
thanks so much, we're well and wish the same for you :)
I just made it, wow!
What In the Cheese 🧀 Sauce ?
That was amazing.
Oh yeah. I just got a Vitamix. And thanks to
Your videos I was able to really pick the best for me. The A3500
awesome! glad you like it :)
Oooo making this today! I usually always make the potato, carrot, cashew recipe for my cheese sauce. This is much faster and less ingredients. Can’t wait to taste. Thank you 🙏
So very very very cool that ya'll are letting the little man join in--- what amazing parents. Ya'll are his biggest influencers in life.. so he's starting out FANTASTIC learning about vegan foods.. so rockin cool. He's gonna grow up to be such a cool guy!
This queso is excellent! I like to make it as an appetizer along with almond butter, hummus and fresh veggies when we have guests over. Even though the recipe makes quite a bit, it doesn't last long. It rarely makes it to the fridge.
yes! shelf-life is not a concern for this recipe :)
Delish! Thank you 👌🏾😊
Just made it...and I Love It👏🏾
Thank you for the recipe and all your videos :-) Lots of love to your beautiful family :-)
Thanks so much. Stay safe!
I just now followed your recipe and it's good! Thank you ❕❕❕🙂
This recipe was great!!! I had my toddler help as well. Both kids loved it. Thank you!! We just purchased a Pro 750. I remember going to the LA County Fair as a kid and seeing the demonstrations. Now in my 30s, I finally got one!!
Def making again as I want some roasted potatoes next to my jackfruit tacos tonight!
This queso is amazing! Thank you!!!!
Made this today as mac & "cheese" for my kids, they loved it and me too. Have to re-do it for myself another day and spice it up,I really missed some jalapenos in it. It was quite a pain to clean up afterwards though, for the first time I had to clean the container by hand, something unheard of before :D But thank's for sharing, I was dreaming of a vegan queso for a long time ;)
This stuff is awesome! Thanks for sharing the recipe 😁👍
So good 😊
Made this today for vegan nachos 😋 Sooo good! Have already shared and will make again. So easy, better than expected. 👍🙂 Wish I could upload a pic.
Btw, I don't have a Vitamix so I blended in my small cup Ninja and warmed up on the stovetop. Worked great, easy to do . 👍
Fantastic!
Just made this....needed some more salt but besides that, it’s fire 🔥 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Omg. So tasty. Thank you for sharing
Best vegan cheese recipe there is!!!
I can’t wait to try this out!
excited for ya
Gracias: Delicioso!
You guys are beautiful, both on the inside as well as on the outside! Thanx for sharing your recipes, especially this one!, and thoughts on the vitamix. We bought one this week and it arrived this afternoon. We made nicecream and now the cashew queso and it is above expectations so good!
Bye from the Netherlands and stay well! Jeroen and Wanda
Thanks so much guys! Glad you're liking them :)
Came out amazing. Wowed the family! Question….do you leave the removable piece on top of the lid when making this for vent? Or leave it on. Thanks!
I have a Vitamix A3500i. I got it as a self Christmas gift. It’s one of the best investments I’ve ever done! Love this recipe!
Awesome. Please do tell your friends about our work; it helps!
Life is NOYOKE I sure will! Your content is amazing!
No substitute for cashews? As great as this is, you can also make some awesome sauces with tahini.
Good call!
Any suggestions on subs for the bell peppers? Thanks
Tough as that's what gives it its distinct flavor. Cooked sweet potato could work, though that's quite a bit more effort than tossing in a pepper
does it really taste cheesy?
Can you warm the cheese sauce up or is it best room temp? Looking forward to trying your recipe!
Best fresh out the 'mix! Can be enjoyed cold or reheated too
Hey! I do have onion and garlic powder, but am I able to use fresh garlic and onion instead? Let me know I'd like to use fresh ingredients!
Yes you can! Probably a bit less liquid, though as there's water in fresh onion
Looking forward to trying this! What kind of salt do you use?
Table will do
Lol love ❤️ the video.
It'd be nice to have an explanation about how to clean afterwards. Made this last night, and it took forever to clean.
Oh no! This one actually should be easy. Rinse right away with water and maybe a dish brush. Then run a cleaning cycle- 30 seconds on high speed with a couple drops of soap and half-full of warm water
@@LINY oh thanks! When I made it, it was much thicker and gloopier than yours. No idea why. I got it eventually
Great recipe: but can you make it raw or is the temperature too high ? Is Cold possible?
Thanks 😊
We've never tried. Let us know how it goes if you decide to give it a shot :)
Life is NOYOKE sure I will ! After I tried yours, lol 😂. Just wanted to make sure the temperature will not get to high too keep it raw, but no biggy . I should receive my blender during this following week ! So excited. It took me a while to decide , but your channel is really neat, I watched others too so I am being really honest here , you keep it simple and real and in complete transparency. You help me understand a lot of stuff and even the things that we are not expecting like how to work the lids on smaller containers and other stuff mishaps that may happen .
I really appreciate, that’s real life !
A big thank you ! ... and yes, I have already started to check on your food prep video 😁👍
Have a great day or night !
Where can I get vitamix scale
What is the difference of taste of the cashew/almond mixture vs the 100% cashew?
good question!
Follow the recipe to a T although it taste good for some reason ours is soupy?
Could have been an oversized pepper? More blending (cooking) will reduce it and make it less soups. Thx for trying
Can you soak the nuts so it blends better?
yeah!
Hey! What if I don’t have almond milk? Cashew milk ok?
really any unflavored milk should work ☺️
Has anyone tried the jarred roasted red peppers instead of the fresh?
could be good, but might make it a bit runny -- if you do, use a bit less liquid
I roasted the red pepper and it came out great
Is there a difference in taste using roasted peppers? Nicer?
Is the nutritional yeast necessary?
It's what makes it cheesy!
Does anybody know, can roasted cashews work in this recipe? Or do they have to be raw?
Raw is best
What if I don’t have almonds?
Awesome recipe, I could use a food video without a kid taking a shit in it though.
Learn from my mistake and never use a frozen red bell pepper to make the cashew queso. It comes out way too liquidy.
I followed this recipe to a T hoping to find a good vegan queso, but I have to say it just wasn't there. I've missed the taste of queso for a long time, and this just doesn't compare. It doesn't taste bad persey, it's just very bland. I even threw in a jalapeno pepper to try to spice things up and it just disappeared. This is a real shame considering this is the second recipe I've tried with nutritional yeast and found it to be lacking.
Sounds like it's half almond cheese dude
I might be the only person in the world who disliked this recipe and threw it away. Maybe it doesn’t cross the Atlantic well, I don’t know.
and that's okay! 💚
He will love you for the potty scene one day.
love being able to mix those precious moments with our work
Why do vegans say almond milk? It's nut water. Vegans won't drink milk, so why call it nut milk? It's water with a few ground nuts. Call it what it is.
I hope you are not making your child vegan. Children need fat and cholesterol, which is what's in breast milk. The need for fat and cholesterol doesn't end at two or three. They need it to grow from an infant to an adult. Children need milk, eggs, meat, fish, and butter, just like you ate when you were children.
This looks delicious. But also exemplifies exactly what I find so annoying about vegan culture. This isn't queso! Why call it that?? Just call it what it is, "creamy cashew dip (a chili con queso alternative)." I get it, your proud that you made something out of entirely different ingredients that tastes similar to actual queso dip. It sounds pretentious though to announce "vegan queso" to the world. Its like inventing hummus and trying to pass it off as "chickpea queso" just because you're vegan and decided it resembled queso dip. Why cant it just be its own thing? Heck if you actually gave this dish a proper name, it might become an actual popular reginional thing that takes on a life of its own rather than being just another "vegan substitute". Youre selling yourself short! And its alienating to people like me who arent necessarily vegan or even vegetarian for that matter, but who are open to and interested in healthier tasty options.
Thank you
